If you use Linux then the curses module will let you address
a specific screen location. If on Windows its a little harder but
you can try using Ctrl-H to delete a character (or several)
before printing.
Use a comma to prevent Python outputting a new line.
Something like::
print '\n\nThe indices are: ',
for index in range(5):
print chr(8) * 4, # ^H *4 => delete four characters
print ("%2s" % index), # string formatting forces width to two
There is also a Python WConIO(?) library you can download which gives
cursor addressing under Windows.
